Barwon Heads, Chilwell and Highton Libraries to continue to operate

At the 27 June Council Meeting, Administrators resolved that the Barwon Heads, Chilwell and Highton Libraries continue to
operate until at least 30 June 2018, after considering feedback from those
communities about their libraries.

Council will review its Social Infrastructure Plan, which will determine the service requirements and models of service delivery at the local, district and regional levels across Greater Geelong, including the role of libraries.

There will be broad community participation in this review. A progress report of the review will be presented to Council by March 2018 so that it can be considered in the new Council’s four-year plan.
